quite some time ago, just out of curosity and while sitting in a train, I build
the GTK client for my Zaurus 860. The biggest problem
is that the PDA displays are so small and the GTK client isn't optimized for
size at all. So its no real fun using it.

I rather prefer to wait for a nice web client :-)
